CLARKSVILLE The National Weather Service has issued a Heat Advisory, effective until 7 p.m. this evening.

Forecasters said higher dewpoints will pool ahead of an approaching cold front this afternoon, and the combination of high dewpoints and high temperatures in the mid-90s will produce heat indices above 105 degrees across northwestern Middle Tennessee into this evening.

Heat-related illnesses such as heat exhaustion or heat stroke can occur quickly to anyone working outdoors or participating in outdoor activities.

Remember not to leave children or pets unattended in vehicles for any length of time. Temperatures in a closed-up car can quickly become deadly.
